Ding! You win the prize for the obvious - the bills threatened the
availability of abortion without consequences and had to be opposed -
even if this meant tolerating infanticide. The final bill that Obama
voted against contained the same language as in a Federal law he said
he preferred. Then he voted against in anyway.
And no, I did not read about this in any smear site. All of this is
in the public record - you just object to the logical conclusion.

At the end of the day it was legal in Illinois for living infants
to be allowed to die with no medical or pallitive assistance and
that was a position Obama preferred as a matter of law. In what
way is that not support for at least passive Infanticide? It
matters not at all to the question of O's views that some R's also
supported it.
Obama and other opponents said the bills posed a threat to abortion
rights and were unnecessary because, they said, Illinois law already
prohibited the conduct that these bills purported to address.
Read something other than right wing smear sites.
